I have succesfully configure a PPTP-client connection from a Debian Jessie (8.7) server. I followed the instructions on http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-debian.phtml The problem is that on point 9 "To have the tunnel started on system boot" there is no instructions for Debian Jessie. I tried the instructions for Debian Woody but there is no "/etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot" after the installation. I created the file from scratch (using a sample I found on internet) but the tunnel does not come up either. Can someone please tell me how to do it? Thanks Hugo |

That one is applicable for jessie as well. Christoph |

You would have had to look at the list of Debian release names and deduce that Debian Jessie matches the condition "Debian Sarge and later". I'm not sure I want to keep adding release names. So I shall remove the old information. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ |

Configuring the PPTP client as for Debian Sarge and later the following line in is logged in /var/log/ppp-connect-errors "anon fatal[get_ip_address:pptp.c:437]: getaddrinfo(): Name or service not known" This log entry appears any time the networking service is started.

You might try Network Manager instead; it has a pptp plugin package. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ |

I've also added Network Manager instructions. http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-debian.phtml > > Configuring the PPTP client as for Debian Sarge and later the following line in > > is logged in /var/log/ppp-connect-errors > > "anon fatal[get_ip_address:pptp.c:437]: getaddrinfo(): Name or service not > > known" > > > > This log entry appears any time the networking service is started. > > You might try Network Manager instead; it has a pptp plugin package. Check that you are passing the IP address or host name to the pptp program. In the configuring-by-hand instructions, that's the pty option in the /etc/ppp/peers/$TUNNEL file. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ |

The tunnel definition is right. Using the "pon" command the tunnel come up manually without problem. I think the problem with Sarge and later procedure is that ppp port is trying to come up before the eth0 port is ready.

Yes, it sounds like a race condition. In my tests it works fine, but results must depend on how quickly the eth0 interface and DNS become available, especially if DNS is required. Please try; - use an IP address instead of a host name, or; - add "post-up /sbin/ifup tunnel" and "pre-down /sbin/ifdown tunnel" to the eth0 interface, and remove "auto tunnel", or; - use Network Manager.

James: Thanks! I set up the post-up and pre-down sentences on the /etc/network/interfaces file, and now the pptp tunnel comes up automatically at power on. Hugo |

That's good. I've updated the documentation. Let me know what you think. http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-debian.phtml -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ |
